CLS Shooting Brake Archives - cars & life blog

Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake is now available with AMG, CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake. As a part of Mercedes tradition, CLS Shooting Brake is available with AMG engine. This is quite common and everyone knows it. Shooting Brake is a new vehicle for the market, coupe estate. Sounds a bit interesting and unusual but there is a possible demand for this car.

Because, many people love estate cars (I really don’t know why) and some of those people don’t like to own a boring estate car. This sounds reasonable as well. So, people in Mercedes decided to cheer up the people who drive boring estate cars with coupe estate.

Honestly, CLS Shooting Brake does not sound that bad but it is definitely not my type!

CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake features 5,5-lt biturbo petrol engine that produces 525 PS and 700 Nm of torque. However, Edition 1 will produce 557 PS and 800 Nm of torque. So, CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake Edition 1 is a better second hand option. As usual, engine is coupled with 7-speed AMG automatic gearbox. And limited to 250 kph (155 mph).

Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake is now revealed to press. CLS Shooting Brake is a coupe looking estate car, this does sound a bit unusual but welcome to new world! There are three engine option and impressive high quality interior. My suggestion for CLS Shooting Brake, with this high quality in details will attract new customers who previous do not wish to own an estate car.

CLS Shooting Brake is packed with technology, luxury as usual. Actually, Shooting Brake is a luxury a estate car. Mercedes E-Class do offer estate but E-Class does not offer the same level of luxury like CLS. Now, we have the CLS Shooting Brake.
CLS Shooting Brake offers; electric steering wheel, LED headlights, active park assist, distronic plus, bas plus and other safety systems that are currently available with CLS sedan.

The best bit of CLS Shooting Brake is the wooden luggage compartment floor that creates an outstanding ambience. And I hope it is scratch resistant and not optional :)
